Photography has been a passing hobby of mine for several years and over the past few months I’ve been watching several drone pilots and impressed by the pictures and video footage they can obtain. The DJI range of consumer drones seems to be very popular with amateur pilots, and after a little research I decided on the DJI Mini 2 SE, it seemed to meet my budget and given my inexperience was recommended as a beginner drone.
